Micro-blogging site Twitter has now given its users more control of their photos.

The Twitter app for iOS and Android devives has replaced its photo filter grid with an easier to use Instagram-style row of adjustable filters.

Double tapping the filters shows an intensity slider that shows thumbnails of how photos will look like, Techcrunch reported.

The new filter system will roll out to all iOS and Android users.

The option is exactly like Instagram's filter selector.

The intensity of the filters can be adjusted with a slider that is revealed by a double tap.

The option is the latest similarity between between Facebook and Twitter.

Facebook recently launched hashtags and trending topics and Twitter has launched a News Feed-like option.
